Hazy orange body, large white head, decent lacing. Nose is boozy, resinous, and oaky. Not particularly inviting. Flavor is a bit disjointed as the strong presence of oak, combined with a hop profile that is more bitter than flavorful, undermines this beer. Medium bodied, assertive carbonation, a bit astringent. Not my thing.

The color is a cloudy reddish orange with a medium off-white head, and the aroma blends citrus and floarl hops, oak, and a hint of diacetyl. The taste is mildly bitter, slightly sour, mildly boozy, and a touch sweet with a definite oak flavor throughout. The aftertaste is purely hops, booze, and oak, and the palate fuses an oily texture, medium body, and a flat carbonation.

"good stuff, but didn’t leave the holy crap impression that regular old unearthly did. it was already a pretty malty beer and the oak aging seemed to mute the hops even a little more. there was good balance here, just not for a dipa. nice mix of vanilla, oak, malts, and bitter citrus hops."

The body has a deep amber color which has good clarity and visible carbonation. On top sits an average off white colored head that slowly fades and makes some cool lace rings on the glass after each sip. In the nose I pick up an intensely rich mix of malt and hops. There are deep golden raisin and caramel notes from the malt and deep resiny pine like hops back by some citrus notes and hints of oak wood. On the tongue there is a mixing of sweet caramel notes, raisin bread, resiny hops, pine, citrus, orange peel and in hint of oak. Hop bitterness slowly builds more and more towards the finish but still brings some sweetness to keep things juicy. It’s full bodied, bold and heavy or chewy on palate. Carbonation is soft and just keeps things from getting too sticky.

I had this at Global Brew. Pours orangish with a white head. Taste strong, pine, sweet. I thought this was so so. I would skip this and stay with the Un'earthly that is not oak aged.
